right? and zach probably made us do that. >> do you agree? >> yeah. >> i don't remember much about these movies. >> no? >> reporter: the shared humor that brought these guys together for the first "hangover" movie four years ago clearly remains. >> do we read too much into this when we say oh, gosh, it must be bittersweet to leave these characters behind? >> no, that's accurate, i think. yeah. it's changed all of our lives. we all love each other. and it's over. >> do you really like each other? >> yes. yeah, we really do. >> don't listen to him. >> man, it's good to have the wolfpack back one last time. now, there is another comedy wolfpack. seth rogen and his all-star friends try to laugh off the apocalypse in "this is the end." >> look at this. hey, nice to meet you. >> seth rogen's looking remarkably calm for a guy who just survived the apocalypse. that's right. the apocalypse. his summer blockbuster is a buddy comedy starring his

real-life buddies, playing warped versions of themselves, stuck in james franco's house as the world comes to an end. >> you were kind of all things to this movie. co-director, co-writer. one of the lead actors. it is kind of all things you. >> it's a little nerve-wracking. i think it turned out good. i'm very proud of it. i think it's funny. >> it's very funny. it's also very violent. >> it is very violent. >> oh, my god! >> but it's funny violence. if there is such a thing. >> there is such a thing. i think -- when i was young, i saw "pulp fiction," i remember. that to me was kind of like a benchmark in moviemaking where i was like oh, you can do like disgusting, violent stuff but if you treat it the right way it can be really funny. >> were you always funny? >> i always tried to be. yeah. i think so. >> so you had a sense? >> yeah. you know, some people are naturally inclined toward some things. and i was definitely -- i liked comedy. >> you didn't go to college. >> no.

>> didn't graduate from high school. >> no. >> you're almost the epitome of -- >> and i drink at 1:00 p.m. >> but it's almost the epitome of do as i say, not as i do. how did you get here? >> i worked really hard. it isn't like i dropped out of high school and just did nothing. like i dropped out of high school and then went and worked on a tv show and we were writing a script all throughout high school. >> as a teenager seth landed a role on the television series "freaks and geeks." the show was a hollywood launching pad for the cast, who have continued to work together over the years. some reuniting again in "this is the end." >> it almost seemed like you were just vibing in a lot of the scenes. >> it's hard to tell which ones are written and which ones are improvised. i'd say the movie is like a 50-50 mix. >> and you guys bag on each other in the movie. was there anything off limits like you cannot go there? >> almost everyone in the movie hit the brakes at some point and came to me and they're like we

can't do this, this is too much. everyone at one point. except franco. he'll say and do anything. and i have to lead by example. >> edgy humor for audiences rooted in a simple goal among friends. >> more than anything, we're just trying to make each other laugh. >> "this is the end" opens june 12th. that brings us the to end of our summer movie special. so you know what time it is, right? time to grab that popcorn, get ready to see all those huge stars, action, adventure, comedy, animation. this summer's got something for everyone. so dim those lights, and let the so dim those lights, and let the summer movies roll. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com in technology & finance. welcome to the state where cutting taxes for business... is our business. welcome to the new buffalo. welcome to the new buffalo. welcome to the new buffalo. new york state is throwing out the old rule book to give your business a new edge,
